Why DVD's are helpful

There are many venues for viewing films, and one of the most helpful is on DVD. Yes, the "big screen" in a movie house is special: and, yes, film festivals are more fun. There is not much one can do about duplicating a festival in one's living room, but today's large home screens fill in pretty well for the larger commercial houses. The DVD adds another dimension, beside quality, that the theaters normally do not provide: special features! The commentary by director Laurent Tirard on the making of MOLIERE raises the understanding of the art of the film from good to excellent. In explaining the relation of scenes and characters from Moliere's plays to scenes and characters in the film, Tirard transcends the art of biography. This is especially helpful with a playwright like Moliere who is long-removed from contemporary culture, both in substance and form. Of course, not all special effects are as useful as Tirard's commentary. Most range from a director's "what I did last summer" to a "I can't explain why I wrote that." Tirard is the exception. As one who has a Ph.D in Literature, even I read precious little of Moliere, and then usually only under the gun. After viewing Tirard's commentary, I think I might just go to the library and pick up a book of Moliere's plays, and take home another of Tirard's films---on DVD!
